Days 3 - 4: Linyanti / Savuti Channel

Game drives reveal red lechwe, zebra, wildebeest, and giraffe, as well as predators such as lion, cheetah, hyena and the rare and endangered wild dog. Because you are in a private reserve, there are opportunities for night drives in search of nocturnal creatures such as bushbabies and the elusive aardwolf.
